Class `std.mmfile.MmFile`

MmFile objects control the memory mapped file resource.


						
				class MmFile
				;

Constructors

Name	Description
`this` (filename)	Open memory mapped file filename for reading. File is closed when the object instance is deleted.
`this` (filename, mode, size, address, window)	Open memory mapped file filename in mode. File is closed when the object instance is deleted.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
`length`[get]	`ulong`	Gives size in bytes of the memory mapped file.

Methods

Name	Description
`mode` ()	Read-only property returning the file mode.
`opIndex` (i)	Returns byte at index i in file.
`opIndexAssign` (value, i)	Sets and returns byte at index i in file to value.
`opSlice` ()	Returns entire file contents as an array.
`opSlice` (i1, i2)	Returns slice of file contents as an array.
`factory` (classname)	Create instance of class specified by the fully qualified name classname. The class must either have no constructors or have a default constructor.
`opCmp` (o)	Compare with another Object obj.
`opEquals` (o)	Test whether `this` is equal to `o`. The default implementation only compares by identity (using the `is` operator). Generally, overrides and overloads for `opEquals` should attempt to compare objects by their contents. A class will most likely want to add an overload that takes your specific type as the argument and does the content comparison. Then you can override this and forward it to your specific typed overload with a cast. Remember to check for `null` on the typed overload.
`toHash` ()	Compute hash function for Object.
`toString` ()	Convert Object to a human readable string.

Enums

Name	Description
`Mode`	The mode the memory mapped file is opened with.

Aliases

Name	Description
`opDollar`	Forwards `length`.
